In the high school we'll be discussing how Honor Codes work in US schools and universities. What are they? Why do schools have them? Why do they work—or not? Here are some sources we will be using to inform our discussion:
There has been a scandal at Harvard University this past year, with 125 students accused of cheating on a final exam in a Government class—"Introduction to Congress." 75 students ended up being expelled for a year in this case.
We'll be looking at the following articles, including:
1. What does "Honor Code" mean? How do they work?
2. A discussion of the Taft School Honor Code and Honor Council
3. Essays by students found guilty of violating Georgetown University's Honor Code
4. Why do foreign students have higher rates of cheating when studying at US universities and schools?
5. What is plagiarism, why it's wrong, and how to avoid it.
